(TSXV: FRE) (FSE: FR2) (OTC Pink: USTDF) (\"Fremont\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that it has completed ground magnetometer and soil geochemical surveys over the Coyote and Alkali claim blocks on the northern part of the Carlin Trend (collectively, the North Carlin Project). Complete geochemical results have been received for the Coyote block, while geochemical results from the larger Alkali claim block are expected during August. Ground magnetic surveys have been completed over both areas. Highlights include:The identification of broad areas of chalcedonic breccias and siliceous alteration on surface at Coyote. This type of alteration is frequently associated with concealed gold mineralization in the Carlin trendRecent sampling has defined a previously untested arsenic-in-soil anomaly in the south central portion of the Coyote claim block located on the northern end of Carlin trend. Arsenic is the most important pathfinder for gold in Carlin-style depositsThe association of the silica alteration and arsenic-in-soil anomaly with a subtle magnetic low at Coyote is similar to other gold deposits within the Carlin trendFremont appoints VP Business DevelopmentDiscussionThe figure below displays the ionic leach soil geochemistry for arsenic. A distinctive anomaly occurs in the south central portion of the block on the edge of a magnetic low. Arsenic is the most important pathfinder for gold in Carlin style deposits.The second figure displays the magnetic data over Coyote and Alkali in respect to the greater North Carlin area and nearby mines immediately to the south.Figure 1.
